Cliché Jam

[Doreen Peri]

Quit While You're Ahead

Some people say you should
quit while you're ahead.
I say, to hell with that,
then there's nothing to
look forward to.

I say quit while you're behind.
Then kick back and dream
about all you will find
when you start up again.

(add yours.. write a poem using a ciché as a title and add it to this thread)

Monkey see, monkey do
I won't do what you want me to
If that makes me a monkey
I never knew

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil
I'm at least good for the first two

big sad apes in prison
have such sweet dreams
the nightmares only start when they are free

thucydedes these pants
I been there
spent four years in jail
one fourth of july weekend

waking from the same sweet dream of being free and waking to the nightmare reality

woke from a dream about you four or maybe only two years ago

the smells the sounds
you were not in the dream itself
but I met you on the edge of consciousness as I was waking


hey I would not know how to spell cliche
if it bit me on the ass
this is a red white and blue
amurican keyboard it don't write no la la good buddy french words
go Going GONE
it;s just a travelling song

atoka oklahoma
she told me

told me
when I finally got sprung
"if you stop it is a misdameanor
spend the night and its a felony"
and she smiled
and I smiled
and we laughed
and th lawyer put five hundred bucks in his poctet

oh yeah don't do the crime
unless you want to read voltaire at the govern ments expense

but when a man'ts government is wrong
it is dangerous for a man to be right

Don't put off until tomorrow.

Some people say
don't put off until tomorrow.
That's what some people say.

I say, let's put off forever
the shit we'll never get to ever,
junk that matters little, never,
beg or steal or hope or borrow,
makes no difference anyway.

Put it off and never do it.
Smart you are, we knew it!

Monkey see, monkey do

Monkey see, monkey do ....
now I'm going to mimic you.
Make you look a fool, while you
do the swinging from the vines.

Monkey see, monkey do.
You go first, I knew you would.
I'll just follow 'cause I could.
Baby, could you shut the blinds?

Monkey monkey, see?
Oh me, oh my, oh yes!
I'm a monkey too, I guess.

some people say
give pounds and crowns and pennies
but not your heart away
if I was two and seventy
I't still give my heart away
some people say
she's and artists she don't look back
and other's say she breaks just like a little girl
some people say
it's just the the woman in her that makes her play these games

some people say it's a woman's falt
but I know it's my own damn fault

2 heads are better than 1
i'm gonna have to consult
dr. frankenstein or was that
stine about this matter....

[stilltrucking]

I can hear that highway sound
and a penny for my thoughts
would not tax my mind at all

freedom fries
are not free

remember the alamo
and a white man's burden
fifty four forty or fight
for manifest destiny
bring it on
an axis of evil
an evil empire
big sad apes not
happy little monkeys

dr franks n steins

too many cooks
all chiefs no braves
justice is blind
so is love

Two Heads Are Better Than One

I have one. You have another.
Let's put them together, brother.
What do we have when we've
got them fused?
Totally baffled.
Completely confused.

One plus one equals two, they say.
Bring on yours, any day.
I'll show you mine
if you show me yours.
Wheeeeeeee! Oh yeah!
Of course!

Yours is on your shoulders, right?
Mine is on mine. Headin' out.
Goodnight.

But still, if you will, they say two heads
are better than one, but I'm going to bed.
I've only got one on my pillow, see?
A pillowcase splatter, read reverie.

One two, one two three.
One for me, two for you.
Together we make something new.

Cliché rhyme. It's about time.
One minute, one hour, one day.
What are you doing with your head today?
Could I borrow it for a moment on Saturday?

thick as a brick tonight

tired of being clever

tired of trying to act like a man

just fucking be a man got damit

fuck being hip

go like a raped ape
put to petal to the medal
let it rip

every thing is about being in control

you can shit the shitter

and you ain't got the balls to go

trust the spirit

let it go

give in give up

you got to serve somebody

bigger than your scared little ego

yeah it sounds like the sermon on the mount

giving it to you straight up amigo
